Students who have a possible interest in majoring in Studio Art or Art History should begin taking art courses as soon as possible. Our classes often fill to capacity and many courses have class limits for the number of seniors, juniors, sophomores, and first years who can enroll. Additionally, many classrooms have space and equipment limitations that do not allow for over enrollment. Visit the college catalog for the requirements for the major and a listing of Studio Art and Art History courses.
- Studio Art – Students are encouraged to participate as soon as possible in studio foundation courses (Art 102, 103, 104). Foundation courses may be taken in any sequence.
- Art History – It is recommended that a student take Art 153: Introduction to Art History as early as possible.
Reserved seating is available for junior and senior declared Studio Art majors to ensure they can enroll in classes in order to graduate. The reserved seating form is emailed to Studio Art majors approximately one month before registration begins.
If you are unable to register for a course, you may request an override using the Student Information System (SIS) portal. Once registration is complete, course registration will be put on freeze. Faculty will then review their override requests and prioritize students who need the course to meet their graduation requirements. Please note the following:
- If you are approved for an override, please take action to enroll immediately or contact the professor if you have changed your plans.
- Please do not request an override until after your registration time ends. Early requests will not be considered.
- There are many override requests each term and the department is unable to accommodate everyone.
- Registration for fall semester is not complete until first years register over the summer.
